Ideally NPS (which I could implement via perl). Is there anyway to get POV to
return today's date as a string - it would be a nice feature for date/time
stamping images anyway...

Windows is what I use - the problems I have hit.

1. "date" requires a prompt from me ("Enter new date:") (although not at work,
since there's a /t option). I've got around this by creating a file, and then
piping a dir list of the file to another file, which then includes today's date.

2. POV won't read a string unless it is enclosed in quotes, so I've got no way
of parsing the file in POV and I can't think of a batch command that will help
quote strings/lines in a file....
